OIL-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 240,589, dated April26, 1881. Application filed December 30, 1880. No modeL) To all whom itmay concern;

. Be it known that I, LOUIS O. HECKMAN, of Cleveland, in the county ofOuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Oil-Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and useit, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part ofthis specification.

My invention relates to oil-stoves, and more particularly to thatportion of an oilstove called the drum, which consists of a device forsupporting cooking utensils, and at the same time carrying the chimneys.

Heretofore it has been customary to construct these drums of a top andbottom of cast metal, chimneys of sheet metal, and a casing about thechimneys of sheet metal, the whole bolted together by a single boltthrough the center. There are many objections to drums constructed inthis manner, the principal of which is the great inconvenience incleaning. In cooking food is liable tobe spilled or boil over, when itwill drop down about the chimneys and upon the lower portion or base ofthe drum. In the old-fashioned drum the only way to clean it is toloosen the nut attached to the bolt, remove the bolt, and take the drumentirely to pieces.

My invention consists in the combination, with a drum composed of hingedsections adapted to be opened and closed, of chimneys adapted to beremoved without disturbing the upper or lower plates of the stove;also,in so constructing the chimneys that they can be readily removed,and in parts and combination of parts, as will more fully hereinafterappear.

In the drawings, Figure l is an isometric O (J are chimneys constructedin the usual well-known manner, with the exception that their backportions, both above and below, are cut away in such a manner that theymay be readily slid over the wick cones A and the flanges usuallyattached to the under side of the upper plate, B.

In Fig. 2 is shown a modification of construction, which consists in theattachment of the wick-cones A permanently to the chimneys O, and alsothe flanges upon the under side of the upper plate, B. When soconstructed the lower plate, A, may be made flat, without anyprojections whatever, as also may the inner face of the upper plate, B.

D represents the outer casing of the drum, which is hinged at d, andthereby permitted to be thrown back out of the way, as shown in Fig. 1.This construction might be modified by adapting the two portions ofwhich the easing is made to slide in grooves prepared in the upper andlower plates; or one portion of the casing might be permanently attachedto the upper and lower plates, and the other portion hinged thereto andadapted to open as adoor, the object of the invention being to permitready access to the interior. The two pieces of which the casing is mademay be locked together in'any suitable manner.

What I claim is- '1. Ina drum adapted for use in coal-oil stoves, acasing made in two or more parts, each part so hinged that it is adaptedto move independentlyof the other, substantially as set forth.

2. In a drum adapted for use in coal-oil stoves, the combination, with acasing made in two parts, each part adapted to move independently of theother, of a chimney so constructed that it may be removed or placed inposition without disturbing the upper or lower plates, substantially asset forth.

3. In a drum adapted for use in coal-oil stoves, a wick-cone, A,provided with stop a and chimney G, substantially as set forth.

4:. In a drum adapted for use in coal-oil stoves, the combination, withthe lower plate, to this specification in the presence of two subof achimney adapted to move laterally over seribingwitnesses. the wick-conesubstantiall as set forth. 1

5. The comloination of 21 Wick-cone and a LOUIS HEOKMAN' 5 chimneyadapted to be moved laterally over Witnesses:

said cone, substantially as set forth. J N0. ORoWELL, J r., In testimonywhereof I have signed my name ALBERT E. LYNCH.
